The WanderDings have been traveling for two weeks now in France (how has it only been this long since we've left Atlanta??), and so far we have explored Paris, Lake Annecy, Nimes & Montpellier. It has been pretty much non-stop sightseeing... Of course we hit all the major tourist attractions in France's capital: -- Climbed almost to the top of the Eiffel tower (704 steps to the second floor, but then you must take an elevator to the summit) & watched the tower light up every hour -- Climbed to the top of Arc de Triomphe, watching the traffic madness from above -- Cathedrale de Notre Dame (and climbed towers to the top) -- Visited the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa, Milo de Venus, and countless other art and statues that brought chills with each new room we entered -- Sunset boat ride on the scenic Seine river -- Toured Montmartre, a bohemian and artistic neighborhood, with their free walki...

After our adventure in Annecy we went to another city called Nimes. We stayed in a guest house connected to a other house but smaller, we stayed there for 4 days and had a lot of fun! The family that owned the house had 3 kids and a dog . They stayed in the house while we were in the house too. The guest house was also big too. It had two bathrooms two bedrooms a kitchen and a living room too. While we were in Nimes we saw some really cool sights, including a Arena and Aqueduct! The Arena was where the Romans played a sport where they fought each other and animals too. They ended up killing each other. The Aqueduct was where the Romans built a bridge to bring water to the city. We did a listening tour at the Arena and swam across the whole river at the Aqueduct. It was super fun! We had a great time in Nimes and I hope to visit there again!! Anyways, our next stop is Montpelier! Can't wait! Bye!

When we woke up, we had some chocolate cereal for breakfast. After that, I played with our dog that was really big. Brynn was scared of him but then at the end she played with him. Also, we went to a Roman Aqueduct that was really fun, but first we went to a museum there. Then we ate lunch. After 4 hours we ate dinner. At like 9:30 we went to bed. That's what we did that day. THE END wait one last thing I swam across the Roman Aqueduct Now The End!!!!!!! p.s. It was super duper cold in the beginning.
A lot in Annecy!

We were in Annecy for about 3 days and we had an amazing time!!! When we got off our bus, we had no transportation booked to go on to get to Annecy. So we went on a quick 5 minute train ride to another train station and took a 2 hour train to Annecy. When we got there we had no where to stay and it was raining, so we had to check every where to find a place to stay. But almost everything was full. Then we soon realized that there was a very important festival going on and it was almost the largest festival in Europe!! So we finally found a place that was very expensive and stayed there for one night. The lady at the front desk was very nice and she told us that there was a free movie that we could watch called minions on the grass called minions and she said it started at 10:30. Then we told her that we have saw minions before and asked her if she new any good restaurants she gave us a lot of information. We ended up watching a movie like she said, in the morning we...
